Camp Fire Kids Sharing Valentine’s Love With Local Vets
February 10, 2011
February is the month of love, and for the kids of Camp Fire USA Century Youth Learning Center, that love is being extended to local veterans.
Every year since around 1978, Camp Fire USA children and youth have made Valentine Cards for local Veteran’s expressing their honor and appreciation. This tradition started as a call to citizens to volunteer at their local Veteran’s Administration hospitals or clinics. This call to action has become the National Salute to Veterans, observed during the week of Valentine’s Day.
Camp Fire USA is one of the nation’s leading not-for-profit youth development organizations, currently serving nearly 750,000 participants annually. For more information on Camp Fire USA Gulf Wind Council and the Century Youth Learning Center visit www.campfirekids.com. The Century location can be reached at (850) 256-0953.
